Please describe and include whether the volunteer's role involved creating new initiatives or enhancing existing ones. Jane played an active role in fundraising to have the community centre built and was a vital part of the project management team that oversaw the design of the facility. She ensured that the space would be usable for all types of recreation programs for all ages. Because this new facility was now accessible for wheelchair users, Jane created a new adapted fitness program for participants with physical impairments. In her time with the Ardrossan Recreation Association she helped start a program that teaches new Canadians about camping. Enrollment in this program grows every year. In her time with the local soccer association she was instrumental in growing the annual tournament to double its size. The increased registration for the tournament helped grow revenue for the association. With the extra revenue Jane recommended the board purchase additional soccer and other sports equipment to be available to anyone in the community to rent for free. 6.
